Parts Canada will continue to sponsor the 2019 Mopar CSBK National motorcycle roadracing Championship series, continuing to support the Amateur Sport Bike National Championship class.
The Parts Canada Amateur Sport Bike Championship series for middleweight class machinery is one of the key development categories in National competition. In 2018, Luc Labranche of Mirabel, QC., aboard a Yamaha YZF-R6, narrowly edged Nicolas Meunier of Verdun, QC., Kawasaki ZX-6R Ninja mounted, for the Parts Canada supported Championship.
Parts Canada will also continue to back an unusual initiative recognizing the “Hardest Charger” in Amateur Sport Bike action. A comparison of best lap times between Qualifying and each Race will determine the winner of the “Parts Canada Hardest Charger” for that event. Famed Italian supplier Alpinestars, exclusively distributed in Canada by Parts Canada, will provide the awards, including various items of pit support equipment.
Competitors will only be allowed to win this special bonus once per season, so in the case of a repeat best effort, the second best racer will get the Award. At the completion of the CSBK tour at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park August 12, the results for the season will be tabulated and an overall Parts Canada Amateur Sport Bike Hardest Charger Champ will be crowned.
Parts Canada will also provide support for contests and social media giveaways prior to and during National events, encouraging participation by fans, spectators and competitors.
